Accounts are not just storage. They're one of the reasons Solana is fast.

This day-27 of learning Solana

For the past few days, I have explored accounts and how data is stored in those accounts.

This the summary of all those important concepts about account every Solana beginner should know.

Solana does not uses any mempool to store transactions when they are being processed. Instead, transaction are stored in a block and marked as successfully executed while they are being parallely processed. This helps in handling large number of transactions in lightening speed.

Accounts are used to store data while programs are used to store executable code (Like smart contract in EVM).
